Just the Ticket ★★ The Scalper 1998 (R) Romantic comedy set in the seedy world of ticket scalpers should have skipped the trite love story and centered on the ducat slingers. Gary (Garcia) is a fast talking huckster trying to win back exgirlfriend Linda (MacDowell). He's also hoping for the ever-popular last big score before he goes legit. His opportunity arrives when the Pope announces a visit to Yankee Stadium, but he must out-hustle competitor Casino (Blake). Garcia wrote many of the Salsa-flavored songs used in the movie. 115m/C VHS, DVD. Lenny Venito, Andy Garcia, Andie MacDowell, Richard Bradford, Laura Harris, Andre B.
